Wala Lang

In a big city, holding all your luggage, having lost your wallet, with no money, and with nowhere to stay, you will discover that several angels will come to your aid.  A fellow Pinoy you just met in the street (who amazingly looks like your mother) might lend you some money for bus fare going to the airport, the woman at the local library might call you to tell you that they’ve got your wallet at their lost and found bin, another Pinoy working at a fastfood joint at the airport, seeing you very hungry, might offer you some free breakfast, and a kind foreigner might offer you a couch at the airport so that you can spend the night there more comfortably.  It will also be the day when people will offer to carry your bags for you and run with you to the gate so that you won’t be late for your connecting flight.

A stranger once looked at me straight in the eye and told me that her job now used to be my job in my past life.  It was only later that I found out that she was some kind of a fortune teller.  I tried to forget what else she told me because I really didn’t want to be controlled by what others say my future would be.  But what happened to me recently reminded me of one thing she said: "Babalik sa iyo ang iyong kabutihan."

Yes, in a big city with nowhere to go, God sends you angels to help you find your way home.  I am now back in Notre Dame, in my room, safe and sound. 

Thank you to all the angels.
